How do make an Image and record a video of my Space?
If you are using the browser to capture the Image and Video, make sure there is no Avatar, desktop, or Mona UI in them otherwise this will fail QA. To help with this you can use the following :
To hide your avatar from view, press the 'V' key on your keyboard.
To hide the UI elements, press the 'U' key on your keyboard.
To make the browser go Full screen, press 'F11' on your keyboard.
What if my recording is larger than 20MB?
You can make your Video file size using smaller by using Handbrake - a free open-source video transcoder program.
Once you download Handbrake, open your video file and select a Preset such as Fast 1080p. Selecting "Web Optimized" option may also reduce your filesize further.
Be careful not to overwrite your original video file. To avoid this, change the name of your video file in the bottom menu text field next to Save As.

If you are going to use the Browser to capture your Image and Video make sure that they do not include your avatar or any UI graphical elements.
